Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Is It Wrong to Hurt Oneself? Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Is It Wrong to Hurt Oneself? Luo Siyuan was not quite sure as he spoke, “I only saw a figure from behind.”
Luo Xuyuan looked disapprovingly toward the train that had gone into the distance, “This kid, he’s really got his own way of thinking.”
Luo Siyuan said, “I’m sure it was him. I was wondering why he wasn’t here for such an important moment, turns out he had everything arranged in advance.”
Luo Xuyan sighed, “Alright, if he followed her, it must be because he’s worried about Qiaoqiao. Since she likes him, you all should stop giving him a hard time. Even Grandpa and Grandma have accepted him, what more do you want to do? Besides, Qiaoqiao knows what she’s doing.”
Luo Siyuan muttered under his breath, “It’s all because we’re afraid Qiaoqiao will be at a disadvantage.”
Luo Xuyuan didn’t see it that way. His sister was not someone easily fooled, but at least that kid had his heart in the right place.
On the train, Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen sitting across from her, “Didn’t you say you were busy?”
Lu Yichen replied, “Busy indeed, busy finishing the work at hand overtime. I was supposed to have a two-day leave earlier, but I didn’t take it all at once. I wanted to e over and help you clean up and settle in when you returned to Ji City.”
Luo Qiao asked, “You didn’t sleep at all last night, did you?”
Lu Yichen rubbed his face, “Can you tell?”
Luo Qiao said with some concern, “Your dark circles are almost peting with national treasures.”
Lu Yichen teased, “I wouldn’t dare pete for status with national treasures. I just want to be the treasure in your heart.”
Luo Qiao rolled her eyes, “You really know how to make the most of the situation.”
Lu Yichen was indeed tired, “Tidy up a bit, the lights will be out soon.”
Luo Qiao asked, “What did we have for dinner tonight?”
Lu Yichen replied, “Buns that a colleague brought.”
Luo Qiao took out her cup, which she had filled with hot water before leaving, and then got a small glass jar of honey. Using the spoon inside, she added two spoonfuls of honey to the water and stirred it until it was well mixed.
She handed the water to Lu Yichen, “Drink this honey water, wash the cup afterward, and then get some rest.”
Lu Yichen’s heart bloomed with joy, knowing Qiaoqiao always cared the most about him. He took the cup and smiled at Luo Qiao, “Thank you, Qiaoqiao.”
Lu Yichen moved quickly. Not long after Luo Qiao got fortable, he had finished the water and whispered, “I’ll go wash the cup.”
After he came back and put the cup in its place, he said, “I’ve washed the cup and filled another one with water for you. I’ve left it on the table for your convenience.”
Luo Qiao said, “Lie down and rest quickly, the lights will be out soon.”
As soon as Luo Qiao finished speaking, the lights in the carriage dimmed.
The next morning at seven o’clock, the train arrived at the station. The two of them got up, freshened up, packed their things, and got off the train together. That honey water wasn’t for nothing; Lu Yichen looked much better today.
After getting off the train, they found a place for breakfast before heading home.
They first went to Yin Dong’s place to get the keys. Yin Dong’s wife, Chang Xiaoe, had nearly recovered fully by now, and Huo Yuhao had arranged for her to handle the cash at Green Affinity. Seeing Luo Qiao return, she greeted her with a smile, “You’re back.”
She took out the keys from the drawer and handed them over, “A few days ago, they cleared all the snow from the yard. If you need anything, just holler for Yin Dong and he’ll help out.”
Luo Qiao introduced Lu Yichen to the people in the store before they headed home.
This time away had not been short. As they opened the main door, the courtyard had been cleaned spotless, and the kitchen was also very tidy. Luo Qiao opened the door to her room, where a lot of dust had gathered.
Lu Yichen wouldn’t let Luo Qiao lift a finger and asked her to heat water in the kitchen. He advised her to sit by the stove and keep warm, while he started cleaning, got the furnace in the room going, and soaked the sheets removed from the bed in a large basin, adding the hot water Luo Qiao had boiled. It didn’t take long to get them cleaned.
Luo Qiao sat in the kitchen, chin propped up, just watching him, “Lu Yichen, if your colleagues saw you like this, they’d probably laugh at you for a good while.”
Lu Yichen looked up at Luo Qiao, “Why are you using my full name again?”
Luo Qiao burst out laughing, “Okay, okay, my mistake. I’m just used to it. Does Brother Chen work for you? Brother Chen.”
Lu Yichen, hearing what he wanted to hear, now smiled, “What’s there to laugh at? Taking care of one’s partner is not wrong. Behind the scenes, I bet they’re doing the same.”
